The Agricultural Technology Management program prepares individuals to organize and manage technology-based businesses and operations. The emphasis is on planning and directing an industry or business project with responsibility for results. This program provides an understanding of how equipment, facilities, and technology are used with plants and animals and their products. These processes all require an understanding of biological and physical sciences to produce and maintain top product quality

The Agricultural Technology Management curriculum emphasizes the application and integration of agricultural/biological sciences, agricultural engineered systems, and business. Courses are designed to apply physical concepts and problem solving to food and agricultural systems. Supporting courses provide a foundation of mathematics, chemistry, business, and computer and communication skills. Technical electives are available to develop a degree program that meets personal career objectives.

Students are required to select one or more agricultural science areas of emphasis (animal science, agronomy, agricultural business/economics, horticulture, grain science, etc.) to complement their Agricultural Technology Management degree program.

Many students integrate their Agricultural Technology Management degree into the completion of one or more academic minors, and/or a secondary major in natural resources and environmental sciences, and/or a dual major degree program (major in Agricultural Technology Management and agribusiness, agricultural economics, animal science, or agronomy, etc.), and/or completion of the John Deere Dealership Management Program. Careful planning allows students to integrate one or all of these options into their Agricultural Technology Management degree program and still graduate in about four years.
